L'anarchico e il generale - The Zen Circus

Avvolte in carta di giornale

Aveva una pistola ed un cannocchiale

Perché una volta ucciso il generale

La sua nave avrebbe solcato il mare

Avrebbe subito solcato il mare

Ma lo presero dopo il fattaccio

Così tante botte che non serve il ghiaccio

Stette in quella cella così tanti anni

Che una volta uscito il figlio aveva figli

Tanto che suo figlio aveva avuto figli

E tutto intorno era cambiato

Non c’eran più compagni, neanche il padronato

Il figlio di suo figlio neanche lavorava

La figlia di suo figlio dice che ballava

La figlia di suo figlio stava lì e ballava

Ed i suoi amici artigiani

Quasi tutti morti senza successori

Disse al nipote «lì puoi lavorare»

Ma il nipote non ne voleva sapere

Disse che voleva fare il generale

E poco prima di morire

Andò dalla nipote del generale

Non chiese perdono o dette spiegazioni

Ma chiuse gli occhi e si lasciò spirare

Ed il generale potè vendicare

E mentre tutto se ne andava

Un bel riposo già si pregustava

Ma si trovò davanti al Padre Eterno

Che lo spedì diritto all’inferno

E con il generale giù a bestemmiare!

Wrapped in newspaper

He had a gun and a spyglass

Because once the general is killed

His ship of his would sail the sea

He would immediately sail the sea

But they took him after the crime

So many blows that you don't need ice

He stayed in that cell for so many years

That once his son came out he had children

So much so that his son had had children

And everything around it had changed

There were no more companions, not even the bosses

His son's son didn't even work

Her daughter her her son says she danced

Her son's daughter stood there and danced

And his artisan friends

Almost all of them died without successors

He said to his nephew "you can work there"

But the nephew didn't want to know

He said he wanted to be a general

And just before he died

He went to the general's niece

He did not ask for forgiveness or give explanations

But he closed his eyes and let himself expire

And the general was able to avenge

And while it all went away

A good rest was already in anticipation

But he found himself before the Eternal Father

Which sent him straight to hell

And with the general down cursing!
